Using microfabrication, tissue engineering, and optogenetic techniques, scientists from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and colleagues at other institutions have successfully developed ...

The tissue grafts have the potential to help thousands of Americans on transplant waitlists—amid a shortage of donor livers.

Researchers at EPFL, Heidelberg University and Roche have built a human mini-bladder to show how urine composition weakens bladder tissue, helping infections recur even after antibiotics. The work was ...

Researchers at EPFL have developed an approach to print tiny tissues that look and function almost like their full-sized counterpart. Measuring just a few centimeters across, the mini-tissues could ...

An image of a whole human fetal brain organoid. Stem cells are marked by SOX2 (grey) and neuronal cells (TUJ1) are color coded from pink to yellow based on depth. Scientists have developed 3D ...
